About the Book

In 1866, within a quaint coastal hamlet in southern England, Nell earns her livelihood gathering violets. Distinguished from her peers by distinctive birthmarks covering her skin, she finds solace in her affection for her brother and the sea that whispers of freedom.

Nell's life takes a dramatic turn when Jasper Jupiter's Circus of Wonders descends upon the village, and she finds herself whisked away from her simple life. Betrayed by her father who sells her to Jasper, promising him a "leopard girl" for his exhibition, Nell faces the ultimate treachery. Yet, amidst the spectacle and strangeness of her new life, she discovers camaraderie among the troupe and a gentle connection with Jasper's brother, Toby. This unexpected fellowship leads Nell to question if her abduction might have serendipitously led her to a place she belongs.

In London, Nell's presence captivates the city. Lauded as the "eighth wonder of the world," her likeness is immortalized in figurines, and throngs of spectators flock to see her perform. But as Nell navigates her newfound fame, questions arise about who holds the right to narrate her story. As her brilliance threatens to outshine the showman who claimed her, the dynamics within the circus teeter on the edge of change. Furthermore, Nell's burgeoning love for Toby beckons him to confront his own shadows and the dark secret tethering him to Jasper.

Spanning the lush grounds of Victorian London to the war-torn fields of Crimea, Circus of Wonders unravels a compelling saga of control and identity, the allure of renown against the backdrop of obscurity.

Awesome gift for a book lover!

I got this for my sister-in-law's birthday, and she is loving it so far. Really nicely put together. I want one myself! I hope they get more fantasy selections.

Bought as a one off

I have a friend that wanted to try OUABC hearing how much my kids and I love them. I told him to pick one I would get it for him. Now he is hooked. Told him some have makeup or lipgloss or some thing feminine and he’s said that he’d give them to someone who would use it. And has since subscribed. Ty Ouabc

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but ended up really enjoying it. I always love a good story about strong women and this one didn’t disappoint. The gifts that went along with the book were wonderful as well.
